Special Screening and Panel Discussion

The Good Virus is a character-driven feature documentary that explores the global efforts of leading scientists combatting one of the most pressing health challenges of our time—the urgent issue of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections. AMR is already killing millions each year. The global medical community is out of solutions for drug-resistant superbugs and is turning to bacteria’s ancient enemy: bacteriophages. In its One Health approach, the film explores the scientists’ revolutionary approach of using phages to combat deadly bacteria in the environment, in animals and humans, and to create an equal healthcare system, giving low-income countries independence from Big Pharma.
